+# Kinesis Advantage Keymap
+
+## About this keymap
+
+This keymap is designed after Kinesis Advantage's QWERTY layout with the following key differences:
+ - There are only 10 F-keys in the main layer, F1 and F2 are moved to additional LOWER layer.
+ - The INS key acts like a LOWER layer activation key and Del in LOWER layer ats like INS.
+ - LCtl is placed where CAPS should be and CAPS is moved to a free key after F10.
+ - Brigtness and volume control keys are added to LOWER layer.
+
+ The keymap file also contains RAISE layer but it is currently equivalent to LOWER layer and does
+ not have an activation key mapped. It is intended for possible extensions.
